Ethiopia Project
We are very proud to have had an association with our brothers and sisters in Ethiopia since the LiveAid concert of 1985.
Supporting the apostolate of the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady our parish community has continued to support their work for over 25 years now.
In that time despite many invitations from the Sisters no-one from the parish has ever actually visited Ethiopia.
To celebrate our 25 year milestone we have undertaken a pledge to visit the communites we support in Ethiopia in June 2012.
We have called this "Project 2012"
Following an open invitation to parishioners we are delighted that 7 members of the parish community have volunteered to travel to Addis Ababa and Nazret with our parish priest, Fr Jim.
Please pray for Rebecca and Nicole, Ann-Marie, Dr Kellie, Dr David, Craig, Derek and Fr Jim as they make their preparations for this fantastic trip.
The Project 2012 team are supported by our parish community and friends and are very busy fundraising.
The fundraising is to aid the Sisters in their work and to help with the costs of the trip.
If you can offer any help in our fundraising efforts please contact us.
More information can be found in the newsletters we have published-just click on the link below to read all about it.
You can also read the whole history in the Parish Library where the Parish Ethiopian Team keeps a full history folder.
This group also looks after the monthly collection the parish makes as part of our regular and on-going support.
Please help us as much as you can.
